Turbo not kicking in...
I was driving around my car today, and it was running fine and all. On my way back home, the turbo was not kicking in for some reason. Temperature was okay. Fuel pressure was okay. Everything looked to be fine, except for the turbo. It looks fine and all except that it doesn't kick in. Actually it does kick in, but instead of 19psi it was only hitting 2-3psi.
What could be wrong?

Re: Turbo not kicking in... (400_2roll)
Do you guys notice anything funny??
Here is a guy that says he has 400whp on 19psi, and he isnt even smart enough to know that it could be his pipes or a vaccum leak...
Is it just me or should people like this not be working on a turbo car, or for that matter driving a turbod car...

It doesn't really matter what you think. I asked a question and that's it. I don't need your stupid comments or dumb opinion . I just wanted to check if it's something more serious than the pipes or a vacum leak. I didn't ask for you opinion, because I don't care about it!

I don't know why but that struck me as extremely funny.
maybe it's the cheap
ohh damn! I just noticed your sig.
I'm shooting for something close to 300whp on my SOHC build up. I'm thinking I can do it with 18psi on a t3/t4. what do you think PM if you have the time I'd like to hear your experience.

Re: Turbo not kicking in... (flip1199)
I'm using the XS-ENgineering T3/T4 turbo.
Yes I was driving around town (highway) boosting 19lbs! It's my weekend car. On Thursday night, I reached 265 km/h (166 mph) and slowed down. Absolutely senstational!

Re: Turbo not kicking in... (400_2roll)
hard to believe. anyone with 400hp should be able to troubleshoot their own problems. if you wanted GOOD advice, you should of said "i already checked the piping, etc"
be honest, you did come on here sounding like a noob.
anyway.. go check your piping.
